How to Use OraQuick

For complete testing instructions and result interpretation, please refer to the instructions included with the kit. You must be 17 or older to use this test.

The OraQuick In-Home HIV Test is an in-vitro diagnostic home-use test for HIV (HIV-1 and HIV-2) in oral fluid. This test works by looking for your body’s response (antibodies) to fighting the HIV virus.

A positive result is preliminary and follow-up confirmatory testing is needed. If you have been exposed to events that could result in HIV infection, you should test 3 months after the event. If you feel you are at risk of being infected with HIV, it is a good idea to test regularly. Please follow the testing directions carefully to be sure the results are correct. You must be 17 or older to use this test.

A positive result with this test does not mean that you are definitely infected with HIV, but rather that additional testing should be done in a medical setting. A negative result with this test does not mean that you are definitely not infected with HIV, particularly when exposure may have been within the previous 3 months. If your test is negative and you engage in activities that put you at risk for HIV on a regular basis, you should test regularly.

This product should not be used to make decisions on behavior that may put you at increased risk for HIV.
